A Boing Boing commenter, "pidg," apparently created a Firefox extension to remove the comments of one Percival Dunwoody, Idiot Time Traveler from 1909.
"For the rest of us, there's Dunwoody-No-More®."
We here at Tom the Dancing Bug certainly appreciate the effort. Of course the runner-up is "Applemask," who wrote:
"If you're seriously going to create a Firefox extension to remove Perceval Dunwoody's comments, you might as well make an app that generates the sound of thousands of fabulously-dressed wine-drinking middle class friends in a New York apartment laughing and congratulating you on your cleverness every time you make a post on the Internet."
There seems to be some resentment and puzzlement among commenters over how Mr. Dunwoody always manages to get in the first comment each week. Seems to me that even if you reject the science-fiction explanation, there may be a more reality-based and obvious one.
